"Slow the Scroll: Users Less Vigilant About Misinformation on Mobile Phones"

According to a team led by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, people process information more efficiently on mobile phones but are less vigilant about misinformation than on Personal Computers (PCs), especially when users have developed a mobile phone routine or habit. The researchers also discovered that PC users are more likely to click on malicious links in phishing e-mails. Their findings have implications for cybersecurity and highlight the need for more alerts on mobile devices to combat misinformation and warnings on PCs to reduce susceptibility to phishing attempts. This article continues to discuss key findings and observations from the study.
